Kazan's Victory Park (Park Pobedy) was opened in the 1970s when 1418 trees were planted here; one tree to represent each year of the war. In 1995 a memorial complex was created to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the war. The most striking feature of the complex is the 42 metre Victory Obelisk at the base of which there is a statue of soldiers and a mother with a child in her arms. Next to this is a pantheon featuring marble tiles engraved with the names of heroes from Tatarstan. In the centre of the pantheon is an eternal flame. Further back in the park are some examples of military equipment, including planes and armoured vehicles, and a statue of a mother in mourning.
